Apologies for any confusion. Let's carefully analyze the given information.
The excerpt states that the Iroquois helped the British fight against the French and their allies, the Algonquins. It also mentions that the Native American allies revealed the presence of French scouts camped in the woods ahead.
From this information, we can infer that the Iroquois likely had better knowledge of the habits and tactics of both the French and the Algonquins (option B). Their understanding of their enemies' strategies and behaviors could have been crucial in planning and executing a successful surprise attack.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. The Iroquois likely had better knowledge of the habits of the French and Algonquins and could plan accordingly.
I see conflicting answers of A or B which one is correct
Apologies for the conflicting answers. Upon reevaluating the information provided, it is more likely that option A is correct.
The excerpt mentions that the Native American allies revealed the presence of French scouts camped in the woods ahead. This suggests that the Iroquois had better knowledge of the area (option A) and could lead the British troops through the woods.
While it is possible that the Iroquois also had knowledge of the habits of the French and Algonquins (option B), the specific mention of their assistance in navigating through the woods implies a more direct role in guiding the British troops through the unfamiliar terrain.
